The Twists And Turns Of The Life Of Faith!
()
About this ebook
The book traces the life of a young Christian couple, typical of many, and seeks to show that a life of faith means simply trusting God every step of the way, because one now belongs to His family, as one of His children. And as a loving Father, God delights to look after His own! This does not mean that a Christian never experiences the same problems, sicknesses, and accidents that are part of the human condition on earth; but it does mean that God is Present in one’s life to comfort and to guide every step of the way, and sometimes even miraculously intervene!

Preface
This book traces the life of a young Christian couple, typical of many, and although the characters are fictitious, some of the life events are true and some of the places mentioned are real, for as God says at Ecclesiastics 1:9, That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.
And since the author is also a Christian evangelist and counselor, many real life situations have been incorporated into the story.
The book has been written to show that a life of faith means simply trusting God every step of the way, because God is not only now real in a person’s life, but because one now belongs to His family, as one of His children. And as a loving Father, God delights to look after His own! This does not mean that a Christian never experiences the same problems, sicknesses, and accidents that are part of the human condition on earth; but it does mean that God is Present in one’s life to comfort and to guide every step of the way, and sometimes even miraculously intervene! It is my prayer that this story will touch many lives for the glory of God!
This is the eighth book in The Christian Fiction Library™ series, and the author’s fortieth published work in four different series.

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28
CHAPTER ONE
/ But I do not want to go!
There had been a battle brewing for almost two months at Laura’s house, ever since her parents, Bill and Harriet, sat down with her a few days after her high school graduation and advised that she should take the one year General Bible course at Drayton Bible College. They knew that she had only come to know God about four summers ago, when a counselor at the camp she had attended for two weeks had led her to faith in Jesus. Her parents were now trying to explain to Laura that this one year course would give her a good foundation for when she married and had a family of her own. Her father had tried to make Laura understand that they were saying this only for her own good, because they loved her. Oh, how many times had she heard that!
Yet Laura knew that her parents, who were Christians, loved her deeply, her father in particular, since she was his only daughter, their two other children being older twin boys. She had been reading her Bible every day since her salvation, so she knew that she was supposed to submit to and obey her parents, who had watch over her. But to her it was just the idea of sitting in class each day and studying the Bible. It all seemed so dry. And as she continued to argue with her parents about this, and with God, she felt God speak to her one morning when she was reading at Acts 7:51, where a believer by the name of Stephen was trying to convince some people of the truth of God, with his finally ending up saying to them, You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.
If there was one thing that she did not want to do is resist God and be labeled as having a stiff neck! So right there and then she told God that she would take this course as His will for her, before later telling her parents, which ended in their hugging her!
So here she was, 9 am Monday morning, September 6, 1976, sitting down in her first class, as the rest of the students file in and also take a seat. As she looks around at the other students, who are all females, except for one guy, another guy walks in. At first, Laura thought he was just another student coming in late, but then he stands at the front of the class and writes his name on the blackboard, in large capitals ‘JAKE.’ As he turns around, he announces that he will be teaching the course for the first semester, which is ‘An Introduction to the Bible.’
But what really floors Laura is when he discloses that he is a student there himself, in his fourth year of the BTh program, which he then proceeds to explain is the Bachelor of Theology, which qualifies one, at least on paper, to be a minister in their denomination. Laura has no doubt that a lot of the other students there were probably thinking what she herself was thinking at that moment, which was ‘I want my money back!’ The only thing that made her want to stay is that she took an instant liking to this Jake guy! She does not remember a single thing that he said the rest of the class, which lasted an hour, but one thing she knew for sure is that she could not wait for 9 am Tuesday morning!
When she is back in her dorm room later that afternoon, the first thing she does is call her best friend, Lisa, back home and tell her all about Jake, also asking her not to tell anyone. She wants this to be kept a secret. Laura knows that she has had three boyfriends, since being allowed by her parents to have group dates when she turned 16. But she knows in her heart that this is different. She cannot explain it. She only knows that something strange, but wonderful, was happening within her. Could this be what real love is like?
And when she was reading her usual chapter of the
